Sands Macau (Traditional Chinese:金沙娛樂場) is a casino resort located in Macau on the Macau Peninsula. It is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, and was designed by Paul Steelman Design Group [1].
It comprises a 229,000 ft² casino, and a 51-suite VIP hotel. This reflects the fact that this casino is a day trip destination for millions of potential visitors, mostly from mainland China, who do not need to stay overnight.
[edit] History
The casino opened on May 18, 2004 at a cost of $240 million.
All of the mortgage bonds that were issued to finance construction were paid off in May 2005.
In 2006, the casino completed an expansion increasing the casino from 165,000 ft² to 229,000 ft².
The casino contains 740 table games, more than any other single casino in the world. Las Vegas Sands Corporation uses this figure to claim Sands Macau as the world's largest casino. [2]
